Fishing Frenzy

The pitch

In this exciting fishing game, your main goal is to catch as many fish as possible within a limited amount of time. You’ll need to stay quick and attentive, because every second counts. Along the way, you can collect special bonuses that will help you during the challenge — these include extra bait to keep catching more fish, powerful bombs to catch multiple fish at once, and even additional time to extend your fishing session. The better you plan your moves and use the bonuses, the higher your score will be. It’s a fun mix of speed, strategy, and fishing skills!

Controls & how it runs

Control on mobile devices is carried out using buttons on the screen, as well as on computers using arrow and space

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for skill cabinets

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. On skill cabinets the players topping the table are rarely the quickest clickers — they're the ones whose movements never need correcting.
Miss on purpose once. Deliberately failing an easy section teaches you the timing window better than ten passes you fluked through with your eyes half closed.
Change one thing per run. If you adjust your whole approach after every failure you'll never learn which adjustment actually worked — isolate the variable, then commit.

Fishing Frenzy — quick-fire questions

Does Fishing Frenzy cost anything to play?

Not a token. The cabinet is free from the first run to the five-hundredth — no wallet, no sign-up, no toll booth hiding three levels in. The adverts around the page are what keep the floor's lights on.

What sort of game is Fishing Frenzy?

It stands on our Skill row — that's the family it plays most like. The pitch above is the publisher's own rundown of what it throws at you and what it hands back.

Can I play Fishing Frenzy on my phone?

Happily, yes. It runs inside the browser on phones and tablets the same way it does on a computer. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out.

Do I need to install anything first?

Nothing whatsoever. Fishing Frenzy is an HTML5 game: hit the start button and it boots on this page, and shutting the tab sweeps the cabinet clean behind you.
